Video (02:49) : Tom Horgen and Amelia Rayno sampled the new food options at Target Field on Monday where the Twins unveiled a variety of new menu offerings to be served during the 2018 Major League Baseball season.

Here are 10 stands that continue to raise the food-and-drink stakes at Target Field.

Andrew Zimmern’s Canteen:Yes, that outrageous pork belly sandwich ($12.50) tastes as good as it looks, and that frozen white chocolate mousse ($7.50) is a fancified (and fabulous) take on the beloved old frozen malted milk cups. But don’t overlook the lemonade infused with cucumber and mint ($5.50), easily the ballpark’s most refreshing (and wonderfully not-too-sugary) nonalcoholic beverage. Section 120.

Halsey’s Sausage Haus:The facility’s firm grip on weather realities is evident in a hearty, beefy and warms-you-from-the-inside-out chili ($6, a tribute to the famous menu staple at the nearby Loon Cafe) and what is surely Major League Baseball’s only wild rice soup ($6), packed with tender chicken. Both are classic ideas that have been around since the ballpark’s debut. Long may they wave. Sections 105, 120, 323.

Herbivorous Butcher: Catering to non-mainstream diets is a Target Field strength. Witness the top-notch vegan Italian sausages and brats ($12.50), topped with charred onions and served in vegan buns. Section 129.

Murray’s:Forget Arby’s. The nearby home of the Silver Butter Knife Steak is responsible for this beauty of a quarter-pound pile of hickory-smoked beef, and while the results aren’t exactly cheap ($16), they’re worth it. Section 116.

Red Cow: The ballpark’s leading burger is a beefy, double-patty bruiser ($14.50) blanketed in two slices of aged Cheddar, a tomato slice and shredded lettuce, all stuffed into a toasted bun. Section 234.

Red Cow, part 2:A close runner-up, burger-wise, is the over-the-top blend of ground bacon and beef, in a 60-40 ratio; cardiologists everywhere are relieved by the slider size ($9.50, or two for $15.50). Look for the omnipresent line. Section 126.

Indian Sikh immigrant Rana Singh Sodhi still preaches love and tolerance 18 years after his brother was gunned down in the aftermath of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks by a man who mistook him for a Muslim because of his turban and beard.

The photo that flashed onto the courtroom screen showed a young man dead on his bedroom floor, bare feet poking from the cuffs of his rolled-up jeans. Lurking on a trash can at the edge of the picture was what prosecutors said delivered this death: an ordinary, U.S. Postal Service envelope.

In 2011, Sean Pugh was arrested for allegedly violating terms of his release from prison. A year and a half into his roughly two-year stay in the Brown County Jail, he realized he owed the county around $17,000 — the result of a $20 daily "pay-to-stay" fee plus fees from previous jail stints.
